New Aldi store - Handsworth

[dusvidar]

Does anyone know when building will start on the new Aldi store on Handsworth Road. Or has there been a change of plan. The site was cleared several months ago but nothing appears to be happening.

hi i heard it was going to be a pub with kids play area

was thinking the same thing the other day, its been cleared for a while now, I'm sure handsworth forum will have objected so it will have got scrapped

There is going to be both a pub and aldi, the meeting held at the forum a few months back now said expected completion was October (I think) 2012, but I have heard recently that the pub contractors are behind at one at/nr dinnington so that's having a ripple effect on handsworth site not sure how or why that stops aldi from starting work though.

An Aldi and a pub. Nothing like choice is there?

According to this:

Aldi was originally meant to open next month. Doesn't look like much chance of that happening now.
